Notorious b.s.d. posted:playing games on windows means spending a lot of time as a windows cj my gaming rig consists of a Windows 7 PC that I set steam to boot directly into big picture mode and plugged an Xbox controller into and literally never janitor. also I have empirically determined that the best linux dev environment is Debian stable with mate from backports. u can thank me later.

I was thinking of maybe possibly trying gnome 3 again but this thread has warned me off of it thanks yospos. Mate suiting the hell out of my needs. e: KDE 5 looking slick maybe in 10 years it'll be usable.

maybe the next time you break the desktop paradigm try replacing it with something better rather than just breaking it because it's old.

here's a hint, unless you are designing an interface for a device called "iPad" or falls into the category of "phone" it shouldn't ape those interfaces for no loving reason. no one wants or uses touch screens

Greed is eternal posted:btw nerds, should I be using KDE or GNOME nowadays? both of these are piss garbage (but KDE is better because despite being a janky neon collection of sperg bait, it's at least usable). Mate and XFCE are relatively stable and are designed for mouse and keyboard use, not some fictional linux tablet that will never exist, use one of those.

I think I've used it once to see what it was like.

If you absolutely must use Linux because you're an idiot like me, it really depends on how much janitoring you want to do: Infrequent - Debian stable, Ubuntu LTS etc. Frequent - Debian testing, Ubuntu etc. Constant - Arch, Gentoo, Debian unstable I think I used SUSE once because it's the only one that ships KDE by default. That was a mistake.

I don't know anything about those because every time I have been forced to use linux I had my choice and went with what I know (debian). Aside from that one time I went insane and spent a week setting up arch on a netbook (I was also insane when I thought that was a good idea).

I liked lubuntu on my netbook (back when I was more insane/poor than I am now) it was nice and speedy, and didn't have any crazy ux experiments like Ubuntu Netbook.
